The Football Association Launches Drive for Entire Nation to Play Football

Players of all ages and abilities encouraged to play football on 7 June as England prepare for 2014 FIFA World Cup

The Football Association has announced plans for a weekend of football celebrations starting Friday 6 June, with the nation being encouraged to get out and play football as excitement builds ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

The weekend, which will be called Reds v Blues – marking the classic team colours used most often in the nation’s favourite game – aims to inspire people of all ages and abilities to sign up and represent a Red or Blue team before playing football in whatever form they wish.

This could range from kickabouts in gardens to organised 5-a-side and 11-a-side matches. Scores from all the games that take place will be combined to create an overall final score at the end of the day.

Former Arsenal, Birmingham City, Bolton Wanderers and England Under-21 footballer, Fabrice Muamba will be joined by former semi-professional player, TV presenter and Heart FM radio host, Mark Wright, as team captains for the Reds and Blues – leading the drive for others to get involved.

On Friday 6 June, The FA has teamed up with 5-a-side providers Power League, Play Football and Goals to set up Reds v Blues tournaments, with fantastic prizes at stake in each centre.

On Saturday 7 June, The FA is urging everyone who loves the game to hold their own Reds v Blues matches. It will be easy to pick a colour, pick up a ball and start to play.

The FA is also working with 50 County FAs to run activities on Saturday 7 June.

VERSACE AUTUMN/WINTER 2014 CAMPAIGN: POWER AND FREEDOM

Versace’s autumn/winter 2014 campaigns represent the power, seduction, freedom and glamour at the heart of the brand. The campaign was shot by Mert & Marcus, under the creative direction of Donatella Versace.

The men’s campaign is about the individuality and self-expression of the Versace man. The images are shot on an entirely plain set, as the Versace man needs nowhere to hide.

Models Filip Hrivnak and Daniel van der Deen wear pieces from the autumn/winter 2014 collection inspired by the biker and the Wild West. The result is a man who is defiant and proud to reveal his true character.

 “In the new campaigns, I wanted to express the power and freedom of Versace today." Donnatella explains "The men’s campaign stands for a man’s right to be whoever he wants to be.”

Leffe collaborates with Michelin Starred chef Kevin Love to invent gourmet bar snacks that can be created at home

Gone are the days where the nation’s favourite bar snacks were a simple bag of pork scratchings, peanuts or crisps. Pub snacks have undergone a serious revival in recent years and have now become a reason in their own right to visit a pub.

Leffe Blonde with Scampi Tails

 

Together with Michelin Starred Head Chef of the Hinds Head, Kevin Love, Leffe has created five gourmet bar snacks which can be easily recreated at home. Snacks include Beer Nuts, Kentish Rarebit, Scampi Tails, Duck Ham and a Stoempe Scotch Quail’s Egg - all of which complement the character and flavours of premium beer Leffe. Recipes can be found on

http://www.leffe.com/en/gastrobiteawards

Leffe Brun with Beer Nuts

Wine pairings are more commonly considered when restaurateurs create menus, it should be no different with beer. The recipes – from the creamy yolk of the quail’s egg to the savoury notes of the Duck Ham have all been perfectly crafted to complement the slight hint of bitterness, quince, gooseberry, bitter cherry and apple flavours of Leffe Blonde and the slightly sweet taste of Leffe Brune with its notes of coffee, vanilla and cloves. 

To have a go at creating your own gourmet bar snacks that match perfectly with a glass of Leffe, watch Kevin in the kitchen by visiting

Maharishi SS14 harnesses the power of Schoeller's 3XDRY® & Nanosphere® Technology

For Spring Summer 14 maharishi partners with renowned Swiss textile mill Schoeller in delivering organic cottons with performance qualities.
 Harnessing the power of Schoeller's 3XDRY® technology, fabrics become extremely water repellent on the outside, while being water absorbent on the inside; keeping the body dry, minimising perspiration marks and creating a cooling effect.

Short Flight Jacket

 The 3XDRY® cloth uses advanced moisture management, combining two technologies in one textile: on the outside _the textile is finished with a water repellent function (hydrophobic), whereas on the fabric's inside it absorbs perspiration (hydrophilic).

Mao Blazer

 Organic woven and knitted cottons are used throughout the collection with moisture-wicking, stain-repelling and cooling properties; offering the body a higher order of protection from the elements. Hydrophobic treatments allow each garment to maintain air permeability and comfort, while still maintaining their utilitarian purpose.
Spring Summer 14 also see’s maharishi using Schoeller's Nanosphere®, providing a natural self-cleaning property to textiles. The nano technology is inspired by natural non-stick and self-cleaning processes of certain plants and insects found in nature. Oil and other spills do not permeate the cloth's surface , and can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth.
